The following error is what I got: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/include/stdbool.h:9: conflicting types for `false' ../bfd/bfd.h:102: previous declaration of `false' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/include/stdbool.h:11: conflicting types for `true' ../bfd/bfd.h:102: previous declaration of `true' utils.c: In function `floatformat_from_doublest': utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic utils.c:2643: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic make[1]: *** [utils.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gdb-5.1.1/work/gdb-5.1.1/gdb' make: *** [all-gdb] Error 2 !!!

Which glibc do you have installed? Please do emerge --search glibc If you have anything other than glibc-2.2.5-r2 then you need to hit www.gentoo.org and find out how to upgrade from your 1.0_rc6 profile to the 1.0 profile. doing that will get gdb going for you.
*** Bug 1845 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have installed version 2.2.5-r2 (Glibc)
Just testet it .. it still does not work
which ncurses do you have installed?
I have installed version 5.2.20020112a-r1 of ncurses. I have tried to see if emerge --update world or --update would update anything but it will not. I have tried emergen the lastest version of ncurses (ncurses-5.2-r5) and gdb now installed flawless .. Thanks. .. But shouldn't it be a dependency ?
Yes, it should be a dependency, probably. Sorry about that-- in fact, the ncurses that you had installed before has been masked out for a while, because of this problem. Anyway, I am glad it is fixed.
